SAM Era - Watch This Before You Age Up +Planning Map Differences Colony Intro Space Age Mars

[@rickrutledge9363]

Good timing for me. I just entered Mars! I appreciate the info. 🎉

[@WillPittRFC]

I'm not in SAM yet, or anywhere near it (i'm in Future), but this is one of the best explainers of the era and process you need to go through I've seen on the topic of the space ages

[@angelfury8182]

I appreciate this. I hopefully will be getting to SAM before too long. It's good to know all of this because I wasn't sure how it worked. Btw, your voice sounds a lot like Mike Rowe from dirty jobs.

[@foeadvance7024]

Appreciate that re Mike. Small world I'm a huge fan of his and just listened to his latest podcast. ALSO Dirty Jobs is coming back! Thanks for listening. I've thought about doing a sleepcast channel.

@@foeadvance7024 you should totally go for it!

I'm in SAM. Never built any goods buildings - special buildings take care of all my goods needs and more. Space Carrier gives rewards for negotiating. Use the 4 hour negotiating sectors for knocking off those negotiations each day.

[@foeadvance7024]

Agreed on special buildings providing what you need nowadays. My focus was just on the mechanics of the colony but it's a good point for sure.

02:22 You can not capture any mars units if you´re still in an earlier era, if you´re in InA you can get units from InA-OF, but during the OF questline you´ll get stuck until you age up. 👍

[@foeadvance7024]

Copy I remember that now! Thanks for noting that.

What about getting goods from Sleigh Builders? It is unclear what is needed to unlock the Mars ore in the continental map province. Is it Mars goods or Mars credits, you said goods and have understood it from others that it was Mars credits that is needed.

[@foeadvance7024]

I get almost all goods needed from Sleigh Builders and special buildings that I reno up to my eras. Mars needs buildings that create credits that you use to make ore, then that ore is in turn used to make goods. It's a very expensive inductive process that I choose to bypass with my Sleigh Builders that most viewers think are stupid. They have been the workhorse of my gameplay for 8 years.

[@pamelapercell]

Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong ? I have entered SAM , but I don't have a shuttle to change maps , or I can't find it and on the world's map it doesn't show Mars.

[@foeadvance7024]

It’s possible you advanced to Mars before exploring on the map to that level. Well, you can advance on the tech tree. You also need to consider where you are at on the maps and what you you’re in before deciding to move ahead.

Guild Continent Map is disabled. When I click on Continent Map I get full screen of continent. How did you get that World Map?

[@lindsaybeauvais7444]

never built any goods buildings for SAM, in fact I haven't had goods production buildings since HMA. the event buildings produce everything you need in your main city. Event buildings are now so overpowered, that most GBs are obsolete.

I may be missing something ,but, i `ve been in SAM for about a week. In your video, in Mars colony you can switch into another map. I can`t, also your home page is different to mine both PC and Mobile. Are you in a beta game? I still need info on how to get Mars ore. Some have suggested that you fight for it, others have suggested that you can mine it. Can you help?

[@foeadvance7024]

Probably a few things going on here. On the map exploration are you done with the VF map? I recorded this some months back so the lander was different then. You get mars ore by finishing the VF map, then clicking on the space ship to explore the Mars Colony. Once you open that up you will see the red map. As you unlock sectors, the Mars Ore will be revealed (its hidden until you conquer the sector). Then you have to mine it via the process I explain in the video.

[@Redwood-1]

I am in Space Age Mars currently and all I built was the 2x2 drop pods. I collect everything every 4 hours

[@foeadvance7024]

How many good buildings are producing? 2x2's don't give you enough population to support a signifcant amount of ore production.

[@Redwood-1]

@@foeadvance7024 I use the drop pods to generate credits I have over 500k in credits. I farm my ore on the C-map. I get my regular goods from my city using event buildings. I've got over 20,000 ore doing it this way.
